Valtteri Bottas

A ten-time grand prix winner from his Mercedes years, Finland's Valtteri Bottas pairs raw one-lap pace with the calm, methodical approach of a seasoned professional. After a spell as a reserve he returns to a race seat to help launch Cadillac.

Alongside Sergio Pérez, Bottas gives Cadillac two 200-race veterans — a deliberate choice to steady a new team through the steep learning curve of 2026. His technical feedback and reliability will be as valuable to the project as his speed.
